Fortnite has always been filled with intriguing concepts, mysteries, and constant evolution of the game's storyline, and the recent teasers and leaks have certainly added to the mystique of the game's future. With Chapter 4 Season 5 on the horizon, many players are eagerly anticipating what Epic Games has in store for them in the upcoming season.
A recent leak by prominent leaker and data miner ShiinaBR showcased what appears to be potential playlist images for Chapter 4 Season 5. These leaked images showcase the possible playlist images for various game modes, including solo, duo, trio, and squads. However, the thing that has caught the attention of so many fans is the use of default skins.

The inclusion of default skins in the leaked playlist images provides strong evidence of the time travel theory in Chapter 4 Season 5. Default skins have always been a staple and an iconic part of Fortnite's history, as they represent the earliest days of the game when almost every player was donning the same basic characters.
The presence of the default skins in the leaked images suggests that players might get to experience the game during its earlier chapters. While the playlist images are leaks and should be taken with a grain of salt, they have fueled existing rumors that the upcoming season might deal with time travel as a primary narrative device.
In a previously reported leak, ShiinaBR hinted at Kado Thorne's Time Machine playing a crucial part in the game's storyline, explaining how the time machine will possibly malfunction and cause a rift that will take the players and map all the way back to Chapter 1 Season 5.
This leak has been further corroborated by the appearance of Chapter 1 Season 5 props on the Chapter 4 map and popular content creators receiving teasers and teaser kits that hint towards a journey through Fortnite's earlier chapters.
Epic Games co-founder teases the new season
Further adding to the growing speculation, Mark Rein, the co-founder of Epic Games, recently tweeted a hint that has fueled excitement within the Fortnite community.
In his tweet, Rein described the upcoming season with the word "rewind." This word perfectly aligns with the time travel concept that has been circulating in recent leaks, strongly hinting towards Chapter 4 Season 5, having a time-altering theme.
As the community gears up for the release of Chapter 4 Season 5, the leaks and rumors have sent shockwaves amongst fans who are excited to potentially jump back into the OG Chapter 1 map. While nothing is confirmed until Epic Games makes it official, these teasers and leaks have certainly set the stage for a memorable experience in the world of Fortnite.
